The floppy cable should have a red stripe on it.

On the motherboard the floppy connector should have a either an arrow or a "1" next to one of the pins, put the red stripe on that side (or there's...

Cap, most motherboards that are socket-478 will autodetect the cpu's clock multiplier, voltages and FSB settinfgs for you. You may get to alter the FSB a little in the bios (for those who like to...

I was a member of the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps for the '93-'94 season.

And there was this one time, at band camp........ :D

I forgot my favorites! :D

27th post here.

I visit almost every day but just don't always feel like chiming in. Still have a long way to 500.

(Unless I keep playing in the lounge.) :D

Yea Guys, I know 133mhz is nothing to you and I but I deal with a LOT of older machines and charity cases, friends and family, all running across old machines. I still get paying customers that need...

You may want to try to order one or two to find out, but I believe that there are a few Intel based pci modems out there that don't have steep hardware requirements.

Whoa! I wanna play. I'm good cannon fodder!

I suck at thses games but want to try to get on one so I can get the expeience setting it up.

What do I need to start playing?

For those who have done the prelim reading on it, the concept looks good. I signed up (and yes, forked over the $99) and was looking forward to having the stability of Linux with the ease of use of...

Interesting that a Dell P-4 would have 95/98 on it......(correct forum?)

"saving money" / "good computer" is tough to balance.

1. I hate Western Digital and Fujitsu hard drives. I only use Samsung and Maxtor Hard drives.

2. Get a good power supply (300 watt+)...

If you have a truly identical machine, then swap hard drives. You will eliminate all hardware related possibilities (sp?) except for a hard drive issue.

format c: - I think we're referring to a laptop here. It makes things more difficult since the laptop probably doesn't have a standard IDE plug.

Need to borrow a 2.5" to 3.5" drive converter and...

Yes. Fairly rare, but true. Some IBM model 350's (around 166mhz or so) used EDO DIMMs. They also had a slightly different shape to them (the short-side notch was moved over just enough to not fit a...

If you get to the point where you want to dispose of some or all, I'd be happy to take some off your hands even if you were to keep the hard drives.

RE: The SIMMS

The SIMMs function in pairs on Pentium class PC's, two per bank. Make sure the largest pair is in the first bank. If you have two 16mb SIMMs and two 8mb Simms, and have four slots...

I would give the DIMM's a shot. For the money you get so much more. You can get 128 PC-100 for easily less than $30 US. About 95% of this style mobo will work fine with PC-100 memory. One DIMM should...

Couple of things:

1. The settings for 100mhz: Front Side Bus is 66.6mhz and the chip runs at 1.5x the FSB speed (66.6 x 1.5 = 99.9mhz)

133mhz = 66.6mhz FSB with clock multiplier at 2x
166mhz =...

Does the TV support 70hz? I thought TV's only went to 50 or 60hz.

Maybe the problem is similar to the effect you get when you try to videotape a monitor....

Try 800x600 at 60hz and see if that...

Some PC-Chips have jumpers on the board that are supposed to disable the onboard sound.

PC-Wave mobo's use PC-Chips chips, and they like to use a modem/soundcard chipset combo, so be sure to make...

You are right about not sticking the 20gig drive in that machine, but I bet you could use the space on YOUR machine.

Image your drive to the 20gig, trasfer your old drive to the p133!

Turn virtual memory down to 10MB. Starts up, runs one or two programs then goes to crap if the person can't figure it out.
